Using this bar stool is easy - just place it at your bar or counter and sit on it. Make sure the surface is flat to prevent it from wobbling. When it comes to cleaning, you can use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the wooden parts. For the wicker seat, a gentle brush can be used to remove dust. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight for long periods as it may fade the wood and wicker. Also, don't expose it to excessive moisture as this can damage the materials. If there are any small scratches on the wood, you can use a wood polish to make them less noticeable.
